I love my Tuesdays with the girls Jill & Sue with the occasional pop ins of Karen or Leigh - (Hi Girls) we have a lot of fun on these days also a lot of tea and giggles and i am not mentioning the cake - lol

We quite often come up with things to make for each other - with that in mind i showed Sue an article in a mag and said what can you do with that - and this is what we made when we were next at Sues - i love em

The trees on the new home card are from stampin' Up the crimble tree was free with my mag but it is actually a Hot off the press Tree- the stamps is a Hannah Stamp that i colored with my prismas - the poinsettia came from i am roses. The bicycle came from Sizzix its really kewl as you get a stamp and i die the banner i made myself and stamped with a kaiser clear stamp which can be got from Here or many other places i am sure - i used a cheery lynn flourish some lace from my stash kraft card was from Tim @ AnnaMarie Designs - very good card - the blue and brown flowers were from WOC they were white flowers which i dyed with sprays that i made myself with distress inks-i think that covers it all - lol any questions just ask - lol

Hi Guys - i know its been awhile since i posted - sometimes life happens - lol - my gorjuss grandsons take up quite a lot of my time but thats OK coz i love em - then its summer and let me tell ya we had a doozy of a summer here in the Uk best one in years.

Lets get back to cardmaking - lol
This card is kinda like some that i saw on Pinterest - great site for inspiration guys - you should deffo give it a look when your mojo goes awol anytime- you can also follow some of your favourite card making bloggers on there as well.

I cant tell you much about the paper on the black and white one as i have had it forever - but the Gingham ribbon came from meiflower .
The paper on the blue card was a digital purchase from Nitwits as were the tools which i printed and then stuck 3 or 4 together so that they appeared to be like chip board.

Hi Guys - i have a couple of cards to share with you - the first one i made using a Fred She Said Digi Image which is pre-colored - i love these images.

i used my nesties to cut the image and to add the scallop but the patterned shape is a tim holtz on the edge die - i just turned my card round and cut it again - the colored lace and flowers were white but i sprayed them with my homemade shimmer spray - the seam binding came from the Ribbon Girl as did the funny little berry thingies.

This next card was made using a Saturated Canary Digi Image - i just love these images - i have colored the image using my Prismacolor Pencils - the flowers are from Iamroses and the seam binding is from the Ribbon Girl and the fence is from an old Sizzix die that i have.

This next card is also using one of the awesome Saturated Canary Digis-i think i am addicted to these images-lol - i have used the small cheery lynn flourish die and the flowers were from WOC and again i have sprayed them the color i want the lace is from my stash.

and this is Grannies Little Helper - i even put it on the chair so he could use it better - Ethan thinks its great - Grannie is not so sure about Ethan helping tho - lol
